1967 Tom Seaver RC Reprint...
I was night owling it last night and hit refresh to find this -
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-TOM-SE...rdt=true&rt=nc $499 or Best Offer. Seller has 8 feedback, several of what he has sold are reprints, and he has reprints listed. As a buyer you want to make it real so you keep digging...haha...even though you KNOW it's a reprint. Wear looks consistent with a reprint on the front, but dang, the back looks ok...then I noticed he actually called out it's a reprint in the stock information...Zero mention anywhere else. I saved the listing wondering if anyone fell for it in the morning...sure enough...someone bought it. Scary the reprints that are out there...and even though I am a raw card kinda guy, I still buy my big cards graded just in case. Kinda feel bad for whoever bought it, but then again, I don't...

I am a raw card guy also. My collection is entirely raw, and I am actively working toward completing a 53 Bowman color set. That said...the fakery going on is only going to increase with cards increasing exponentially in value. Card experts in these forums have had any number of discussions on it, and the estimates on percentages is frightening. Used to be that the fakes stood out, like sore thumbs. But that is changing, and the level of effort going into some of the fakes is mind-boggling; vintage cardboard, inks, printing techniques, etc., that will stand up to loupe and blacklight examination, weight and feel, and make it past experienced graders. With the value of some of these cards, it only stands to reason. I don't believe any of my cards are fakes, but if they are exactly like the original in every way, how can you be certain?

My very non-expert opinion has been that the polar opposite opinions of "oh it's not hard at all to know any fake (once you've gotten used to handling vintage" or "more advances fakes has flooded the market and so few know" are both way too exaggerated, and if the first statement was a 1 and the second a 10, that the truth is somewhere around a 3. And I could be very wrong. But if I am, I'd love more proof than bitter forum people making claims that "I know this is happening here or there" That is not describing you though Referring to the stories you've read elsewhere |
